Qui a eu cette idée folle un jour d'inventer l'école?
Qui a eu cette idée folle un jour d'inventer l'école?
C'est ce sacré Charlemagne, sacré Charlemagne

De nous laisser dans la vie, que les dimanches, les jeudis
De nous laisser dans la vie, que les dimanches, les jeudis
C'est ce sacré Charlemagne, sacré Charlemagne

Ce fils de Pépin le Bref nous donne beaucoup d'ennuis
Et nous avons cent griefs contre, contre, contre lui

Qui a eu cette idée folle un jour d'inventer l'école?
Qui a eu cette idée folle un jour d'inventer l'école?
C'est ce sacré Charlemagne, sacré Charlemagne

Participe passé, quatre et quatre font huit
Leçons de français, de mathématiques
Que de, que de, travail, travail
Sacré, sacré, sacré, sacré, sacré Charlemagne

Il aurait dû caresser longtemps sa barbe fleurie
Il aurait dû caresser longtemps sa barbe fleurie
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne, sacré Charlemagne

Au lieu de nous ennuyer avec la géographie
Au lieu de nous ennuyer avec la géographie
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne, sacré Charlemagne

Il n'avait qu'à s'occuper de batailles et de chasses
Nous n'serions pas obligés d'aller chaque jour en classe
Il faut apprendre à compter et faire des tas de dictées
Il faut apprendre à compter et faire des tas de dictées
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne, sacré Charlemagne

Participe passé, participe passé
Quatre et quatre font huit, quatre et quatre font huit
Leçons de français, leçons de français
De mathématiques, de mathématiques
Que de, que de, travail, travail
Sacré, sacré, sacré, sacré, sacré Charlemagne

Car sans lui dans notre vie il n'y'aurait que des jeudis
Car sans lui dans notre vie il n'y'aurait que des jeudis
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne
Oh! Oh! Sacré Charlemagne
Oh! Oh!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
